UNSPSC 85581224: Replacement of buccal mucosa with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of buccal mucosa with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0CR437Z

UNSPSC 85581224 Replacement of buccal mucosa with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that captures a highly specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with the code's clinical scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management services, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations involves buccal mucosa replacement or autologous tissue procedures; instead, the code appears to have been applied as a catch-all or default classification by procurement offices managing healthcare-related contracts that do not fit traditional UNSPSC medical-procedure codes. The issuing bodies include municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System), and county commissioners (Collier County Board of County Commissioners).

Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most recent opportunities concentrated in late August and September 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). This code does not reflect genuine procurement demand for the specific clinical procedure it nominally describes; vendors pursuing state and local opportunities under this classification should verify alignment with the actual services requested in each individual solicitation rather than assuming the code name matches the work scope.
